education to the changing rules of when the expansion of the middle class and improve the transportation the 6 states in the arab society on outages era. the, you know, typically is rarely a tax in southern gaza to at least 20 palestinians, including children sheltering in attend the hello. i me let the rest of it. this is out of their life from the also coming up. by the time i get into office, all hell will break out in the middle east. us president elect donald trump. the monster mos release is. is there any captives housing cause up?

by the time he enters the white house, the payment lost all the years of exile, international flights resume at syria's main airport. for the 1st time since the full of president bush are all assets, at least $126.00 people are killed after devastating us like strikes to batch thousands of photos to sleep outdoors into harsh winter conditions. and a powerful delays threatens an upscale neighborhood in the federalist more than $30000.00 people are under evacuation, or as california is government assessed, the west is yes to comes, news is rob has stepped up. it's a tax on the southern gaza having multiple strikes and con eunice, one attack targeted a residential building at least 20 people, including children,

were killed, palestinians having digging through the rubble without hands searching for survivors. earlier an attack on attend comes in the so called safe, so need on the wasi also in the south killed for children. tar capitalism has moved from darrow by the in central garza. these really military attacks are run the golf course. the goal is to stripe and causing significant destruction to residential homes and civil infrastructure. and what that was clips during the past 12 hours on almost the area of the safe humanitarians, the ones i was on a very heavily pillow, top neighborhood spot full. so the humanitarian crisis is deepening day and out, especially in light of the east bend repeated attacks on 8 comb, voice, deliberate hijacking by palestinian criminal guns of acute time cuz we started to feel the ramifications of such acts, especially that causes who work in hospital has reported that the hospital will run

out of if you, within the next 24 hours and as well the ox, the hospice um, has reported that they will cost of electricity due to the shortage of acute supplies as a part of the ongoing piece valley located and restrictive mit just being imposed on the delivery of these items alongside with the deliberate and systematic looting of such as your turn cause and come voice by gangs who are receiving sort of protection by the east, by the military. so you submit the scene on the ground is a bit to your take on the was, is quite charged with the, an on dissipation of new as strikes looming on the horizon to carry out just the dairy. but i kinda saw the head of the u. n's release agency says, is there any attacks on 8 well cuz on the collapse of law and order and gaza has made a death, it's nearly impossible. delivery of humanitarian aid to the strip has dwindled in recent months due to his really restrictions displaced. palestinians in darrow,

by the in central gaza, continued to q for hours every day. outside soup, kitchens to receive hot meals. prices of shop increased, forcing many to rely on age. and we've had these it done as soon as the prices are very high in the market and there's a shortage of flour. i've been coming to this charity for more than 8 and they help us with 90 percent of our needs. without it one would not know what to do. the other i take the part back home to find the children waiting for me. one would be holding their plate on another, holding their spoon, and it is not enough for them. are we going to stay in these conditions? this isn't just us hunger. i mean it just famine. how long will we remain like this? us president elect donald trump has threatened that all hell will break out in the middle east. if he's ready to captives housing garza and not returned before he takes office in less than 2 weeks. he was speaking at

a news conference alongside steve would call off his invoice to them of the least amount spokesman said trump should make more disciplined and diplomatic statements of the groups. conditions remain the same, an end to israel's will, gaza those us, which is our back. i don't want to virginia go, she ation and then add back. by the time i get into office, all hell will break out in the middle east and it will not be good for a mouse. and it will not be good frankly, for anyone all hell will break up. i don't have to say anymore, but that's what it is. and they should have given them back a long that they should have never taken a white house correspondent, kimberly how could, has moved from washington dc. this is something that has in terms of trying to get a cease fire and israel's war and guys are and to really get a release of the captive is something that has been looting the current administration for quite some time. in fact, uh, you know, this is something that presidential vibrant had held to be part of his legacy. but

in the waiting days of his administration, it is still not something that they have been able to achieve. and so one would argue that uh, this is sort of a bit of not advertising the part of the incoming administration and the new incoming middle east negotiator. but at the same time, at you, as you heard there, they believe that the man who, who wrote the book, the art of the deal and believes he can strike a deal. so one has to really look and see whether or not this is achievable. but donald trump believes that he can and is threatening that if it's not done that there will be consequences to be paid. he says a period of action of the international flights to and from syria i have resumed since the it's right of

bashful assets. because i, i always is one of the fast and major allies to restart the commercial services into damascus. syrians who, being an exile for years because of crackdowns by the asset regime, were among the fast passengers to touch down, russell said the reports from the capital of damascus, notified i, raise your hands, you would have to be serious. these passages chance on the 1st international commercial flight to damascus sees the phone of this, of many of them were barred from returning to syria by this savage g. some have not seen the family members for more than a decade. it's a moment of joy and gratitude when they cut their away's play and lands in damascus, bundle and deal a table with all my children. because i think we must have the story together. this

is my daughter. yes me. she was 42012. i named to offer you guys read of damascus video ma. well, let me show you my. it's an incredible feeling. words cannot describe my feelings. my soul has been here since the day of liberation. i came with the 1st plan available, syria is alan's. now. the celebrations continuing inside the pool. people are welcome, read through some coffee and some of them are united, damascus international airport was damaged when to redeem felt loss moans and as, as will. yeah. and how does that syria has been isolated from abroad? and as you can see today, the damascus international airport has 1000 working again, we're trying to at devices how we have it because of the vandalizing by the former regime, only areas with the regime head of prisons. they tried to destroy it. we would todd in order to be able to build the airport back again and to be able to make it operational again. this was done and coordination with custody brothers who played

an important and crucial role. alternatives here said the technical conditions of the airport will be approved and that will be moving to national carriers flying to damascus in the coming weeks. the result of international flights is not one of the above syrians being able to travel, but it's also an important symbol. then even this vision sees it has the coordination by these elastic amenities and the connection with the region and the world of the years off as a nation. then the leaders or syria hope these process gimme run to to be to the lifting of whole sections of 0, damascus. then your administration in syria is once again calling for the complete removal of us sanctions for administer asset. i'll shy bonnie said, the latest move by washington to ease restrictions on humanitarian aid should be a step to was all sanction being lifted. his comments came during a visit to jordan. shavonne

a has been travelling in the middle east and looking for investment and support to rebuild the country of to years of you when it's gonna make an open energy. meanwhile, the night that kind of likes to find the children for helping to lift the sanctions imposed on syrians by lifting sanctions, the serene academy will recover fall, spencer and our situation will be best estimate. now the sanctions represent a real obstacle and the any possible cooperation or investments in syria. i showed how can i help our reports from damascus? the trips by suez, but it's all fine up as i saw the sea vanya occlusal, for the people of syria, for different reasons. first of all is going to enable syria to reconnect with the weld bill ties with the regional players and try to convince the international community for more financial and political support. but also the ultimate goal here is trying to convince the americans in particular and the a you to stop lifting the sanctions on syria. now this is

a country that needs millions of dollars to try to rebuild the country and also improve the living standards of the city and people who are desperate for a news thoughts. and it is through diplomatic recognition, through a financial support from the international community that they can manage to achieve that goal. now, when you looked at the big picture, see is also looking forward to see what happens next when the national come phones saw. so this is the moment where the new administration, which is in power, is going to invite syrians to come and negotiate a transition to democracy. of a transitional government is expected to be established in march and the international community has been insisting on a government where o minorities, with the represented hash, about about the i 0, damascus to bed, has been hit by dozens of off the sharks after a powerful quake struck on tuesday,

getting at least 126 people. it happened in the southern region of she got it near the border with the pile. thousands of buildings have collapsed in the area. rescue efforts are underway across the region or will continue to you joins us live now from beijing. katrina, very good to have you with us. so this a quick struck in a pretty remote area. how is this affecting the rescue and relief efforts? well we just had a got an update from the chinese government and they say now that the emergency operation has moved from uh, searching for survivors to recovery. so they've ended the search for survivors. and or the night, as you mentioned, that death toilet climbed quite dramatically that those licensed figures again 126 dead, 188 ended and among those injured 26 are critically unwell in the hospital. now

i think the fact that there was numbers jumped up, so click that quickly speaks to how difficult it is to access these areas. this is a, a remote region, not far from mount everest, extremely high altitude, many of the roads to get to these remote villages would damage themselves, india squiggle, the government says they have since been repaired. and also these emergency work is there a hundreds of them, but they're dealing with freezing conditions. it's winds and now in the afternoon it drops to minus 8 degrees an overnight minus 18 degrees. so they obviously have to do with very difficult uh, temperatures as well. now in addition to those many casualties, the government says 3609 homes were destroyed. and those would have been very rudimentary uh instructions. they made a mostly judge and woods, and they simply crumbled under the power of the $70.00 next to us like and the government says the role. so 10 after shots that followed, overall about 30000 people have been relocated. so many of those villages comp

really be moved, spots of an area. so that's a full stay intense 580 tests have been erected. so it can, you, you can imagine how difficult it is to really live in a change in minus 18 degree freezing temperatures. other they have been given supplies and generation health and parts per, is it, is you just saying in other chinese leaders of also coastal out efforts to help those affected by this disaster. and so for about $15000000.00 has been allocated to recovery. right. thank you. for all of that, katrina, katrina, you were forcing life for us from beijing evacuation or desire in place for the 30000 residents in los angeles. a strong winds fuel awhile fire. california is governor, is wanting. the west is yet to come. more than 1200 acres a binding up in the upscale pacific palisades neighborhoods and thousands of homes are being threatened, imagined to cruise, trying to put out the 5 before the winds intensify. full costs as predicted. costs

could reach 160 kilometers per hour. i mean, i've never seen the fires with this close to the cars. people left their cars and policies drive burning up the hillside, palm trees, everything's going. and the wind and the firemen are great, but the number of structures that are destroyed, not a few, many structures already destroyed in the fact that people were still not evacuated . still did not heat. the warning were just coming down. the canyon is a reminder of how serious this moment is and how important it is. you listen to these evacuation orders. we've all been the memorials. i've never been to a memorial for a building. still had an owl to 0 free meals from millions across indonesia, the government rolls out and then business program to come back, stunting,

the color more when she whether to come across to pad, no great surprises there, but some more disruptive snow we could do without that it has been pretty live the old winter so far more. that's all because movie winds, you can see how the ice of balls are lined up in a movie direction. just coming down across the reality. the wal mart is of the safety plans that i'm paying a lot of see effects now through the western side of the country behind that minus to the top temperature. and so top 10 for minus 6 for the state. well that when people are coming into western japan charge on the other hand, it's gonna be cold enough. but losey dry just a few showers down towards the sound funny a showers to it's a southeast asia, some lobby ones, heavier than usual for summit. certainly been the case and see what's the matcher

recently? see more about shala's just coming in across the philippines, modem, positive bonia, one or 2 shelves into vietnam, a month to be in there. china looks dry over the coming days. must have been the dry eye over the coming days as well. some wet weather just around the pool, the final face of india pushing into me on my one or 2 showers to just coming back into extra lanka. i over the next dial. so father no, no, the impact is not pushing into northern india stays very smoky. the shaker model was for translation and international understanding is inviting nominations for its 11th edition, starting january the fast and ending march the 31st 2025. for more information. please visit the awards official website at w w, w dot h t,

a dot q a the the hello daniel watching al jazeera, a reminder about top stories this hour. at least 20 people including children having killed in his rarity strikes on residential buildings in hon. eunice, in southern gaza. israel has stepped up, strikes across the strip in the past week, us president elect donald trump says captive housing cause that should be returned before he takes office. otherwise, trump says all hell will break out in the middle east. now at the same press

conference, donald trump once again threatening to retake the panama canal and by greenland from denmark. he refused to rule out the use of force to do but his, as we need them for economic security. the panama canal was built for a military terrier. i'm not gonna commit to that. now, it might, it might be that you'll have to do something. look, the panama canal is vital to our country where we need greenland for national security purposes. i've been told that for a long time, long before i even ran, i mean people have been talking about it for a long time. people really don't even know if denmark has any legal rights to it. but if they do, they should give it up because we need it for national security. that's for the free world. i'm talking about protecting the very well. let's take a look at the to suffer and territories that trump wants to acquire. panama canal is a will to way crucial. so global trade linking the atlantic and pacific oceans the

us gave kind of, by its control in 1979 last year. it generated nearly $5000000000.00 despite shipping disruption, because of the drought and the world's biggest island green land is in a ton of his territory of denmark. it contains some of the largest deposits of red elements, is also a strategic location for new shipping routes that can open off as the optic i smells due to climate change. while p. j crowley is a full my us assistant secretary of state and a retired air force condo. he joins us live now from alexandria in virginia. thank you so much for joining us, us. so we, by now i use to donald trump making pretty but bostic statements, but he doesn't always follow through. so what are we to take away from these latest hands that he's got designs on face panama, canal, and greenland. well, he can have desires. but in fact, once he becomes president, again,

he will lack the, the authority to, to take any military action. he can certainly have conversations, for example, with denmark, which he did in his 1st term. just see greenland his 1st day or they've insisted it's not you know, but um, but the seas territory here is an act of war and you know, for a president to go to war to initiate military action. he needs a gift already from congress, and it's highly unlikely that that he would get it and trying to run on a platform, isolating the us from foreign conflicts like the ukraine goal. but these come to show a more outwardly aggressive approach to, to foreign policy. is that a contradiction which actually fits full of contradictions? no, absolutely. of, you know, true. but, you know, remember that donald trump says outragious things to draw attention to himself. and

he believes that by saying the strangers things and threatening to a tre force, he somehow can have some bargaining leverage and whatever follow on conversations take place, you know, with denmark, you know, and, and with panama, you know, but, but in fact, in both situations are governed by treaty obligations, and it would take a 2 thirds vote by congress to change those treaty obligations. and in today's political environment here in washington, you're never going to get democrats republicans to, to, you know, to agree to something along those. you know, those lines. and couldn't these statements perhaps indicate that drums america fast division also includes the us flexing muscles abroad in order to achieve games in trade, national security interests domestically for sure. i mean, he,

he always wants to appear to be the tough card, you know, but if you any kind of reasonable interpretation of the 2020 for presidential election, it would, would be that this was not part of a mandate. you know, here, so he's been put in office, you know, to fix the economy. and, and, you know, these kinds of, you know, 1st statements are really, i, i, diversions for, was the american people want him to do and vote and why they voted in back in the office. and something that jumps associates themselves have subbed in the past is that his bulk is stronger than his bite. and all we to take everything he says so seriously. i mean, he is the us president. but on the other hand, he hasn't followed through with some of the other things he was talking about in his past. um well, i mean let's remember that. do we have while he has been present?

um, and of course he'll return to office in a couple of weeks. you're at heart, you know, he's a deal maker, he's a real estate developer. you know, he had a similar conversation with kim john, one, you know, in north korea where he said, hey, if you, if you go up a nuclear weapons we can divide. busy up, you know, your country and you've got great potential beaches and hotel resorts and so on and so forth. you know, that wasn't perfect persuasive to kim john. one, it's not going to be as persuasive. you know, to either the people of greenland or to the leadership of denmark. all right, thank you so much for all of those inside speed. a crowley live for us from alexandra in virginia. thank you for your time. you're welcome. i on social media platforms, facebook, instagram as far as dropping the stop checking systems in the us power and company meto says it's use as will now be marketing post as potentially misleading, similar to the system of community notes used on next method. see a mock,

a book says the aim is to reduce censorship online since that check as may be biased. the us has a can use sedans, power, military rapids, support forces, honest allies of committing genocide during the capture of navy or of west and also states. us secretary of state and the blinking says the rest of has systematically targeted civilians hitting particular ethnic groups and carrying out mass rapes, washington has impose sanctions and the groups. lita mohammed, tom dunn douglas bothering him from the us and freezing his assets. the un says the sudan complex has created one of the was too many tyrants as almost as in recent memory as being renewed facing incidence capital, which is mostly controlled by the recess. he but morgan reports from how to we have been seeing intense artillery selling being exchanged between the sydney's army and the fire military rapids simple forces listed in these army. since the stars of the

conflicts lost a lot of ground here in the capital to the r a staff for the past year, they've been trying to clear parts of the city, especially the city of i'm due to my now the control most of on demand 50 which is in the capital costume, but they've been trying to retake territory from the r as in hotel north that's in the northern part of the capital. and they've been trying to break the siege on the military headquarters as well. so there has been arthur, there was tracts being exchanged between us within these army and the power and military rapids support forces. here in the capital, the ira step over the past few days has been using ground to target military position, especially in the southern part of the city of the mind. and we understand from sources that several soldiers have lost their lives because of those through and attacks. and that'd be army has been responding, withdrawn attacks of their own on the city of cartoon north as well. this is just here in the capital. there's also 5 thing happening in the city open 5 here, which is the last remaining armies from whole major armies. trunk holes in the dark

for region on the capital of north star for the recess has been fired or to the shelling. and there has been direct confrontation between the are safe and the army and allied forces that there in the city just in the past 2 days. a court in south korea has extended a warrant to detain, impeach. presidents use a tool for declaring martial no. last month, he faces arrest on grounds of insurrection. his short lived declaration that launched the country into political tales. authorities failed to detain you last week after a 6 hour stand off with presidential security service to the body of the us president jimmy costa is line you state of the us capital is remains were flown from georgia to washington on post one, the flight school sign was changed to special and mission, so to 9, a know it's the cost of solving as assessing nights presidents. and they took age,

took his coffin into the city, west senior members of congress having pain that respect. john hadron has moved from washington dc. interesting to hear those eulogies full of praise, not just from the democratic vice president, commonly harris, but also from republican leaders. because when jimmy carter was president, he was always really an outside or even though we held the top job in washington. so it's interesting now to see that he's really being celebrated in a style that really the fits the 39th president of the united states. he had been laying in state at the carter library in georgia. and then he'd been flown to washington kerry by motorcade to the the navy memorial here in washington, the national mall. and from there you got a military escort with a horse drawn carriage to the capital here, where he will be lying in state until thursday where people can come visit him. and

there will be a funeral at the national cathedral on thursday. and after that, all over carter will return to georgia to be buried in his own garden next to his wife, rosalind and his legacy will be a complicated one. he was a one term president besieged by the crisis in her run by the energy crisis. he did return the panama canal to panama, that something you can see, donald trump here trying to get back. but he was also much praised for his personal life. he was married to his wife, rosalind for 77 years. the longest presidential marriage ever died on december 29th, at a 100 years of the oldest president ever. and so it's interesting to see that while he was never really a creature of washington, he's now really being celebrated both by uh, washington insiders and regular americans. as well in depth to indonesia as low as a multi $1000000000.00 program to provide free meals for millions of children and

pregnant women. the initiative was a key campaign promise of president for both of us to be unto and aims to reach more than 82000000 people. jessica washington reports from the capital in jakarta. across indonesia, a daily surprised now awaits school children. as they opened the new launch boxes to find out what's on the menu today. today we are eating chicken rice, but non and vegetables. usually i have to can look at the breakfast. this week indonesia launches it's multi $1000000000.00 program to provide free daily meals for children, pregnant women and new mothers around the country. this is only the 1st stage of implementing the free meal program from january to march. the government ends to reach at least 3000000 women and children, and 15000000 by the end of this year. the free nutritious meal program was to send a piece of president problems to be into.
